Never happen. It would be anti competitive. If there is a final round of consolidation it will be the East and West end to end merger. You figure UP, BNSF, CSX and NS will pair off. It would be interesting to see what will happen to KCS. They could be the wild card. These are interesting times we live in.


I think there is still another player: CP !!!!!!!!

Don't hold your breath.

As mentioned above it would never pass STB or DOJ Antitrust review.
